A Berlin dispatch of June 4th says:
Divisions in the French Chamber have |
shown that the Right intends to give a
solid vote tor the Moderates. The North
German Gazette" "Kreuz Zeitung" and
other Government organs are brimming
over with articles rejoicing in the pros
poets of peace and evincing an optimistic
tone generally. 1t is assumed that the
spirit of Chauvinism is for long time at
rest with the retirement of General Bou-
LANCER, and that peace is assured for an
equally long time. A high official of the
Government here was asked for how long a
time peace was secured. His answer was,
for this wear, and if the Gear meets the
two Emperors in the autumn and consents
to sign a treaty of alliance, probably for
five years. The nature of the Russian
response to Prince Bismarck's overtures,
however, is doubtful. The assertion of
the "Kreuz Zeitung" regarding the restor-
alton of friendly relations with Russia Is
borne out by no apparent fact. On the
contrary, the Panslavist press continues to
display hostility to Germany
The latest instance of Russian exclusion
naturalization which has Just been sub
mitted to the Council of the Empire. NJ.
Kathoff urges the Government to make
conditions of naturalization SO difficult of
performance that it would be impossible
for foreigners to become naturalized citi-
zens in order to make fortune and after
ward return home. Official circles do not
share the sentiments of the official press
toward Russia.
Prince Bismarck is determined to con-
ciliate the Gar, as he considers that by so
doing he would to a considerable extent
soothe irritation and settle differences that
now exist. The first instance of this con-
ciliatory policy is his acceptance of ukase
restricting foreigners rights in Russia.
The Austrian Cabinet had asked Germany
to join in protest against the ukase, and in
an interview on Monday with Count SEE
chenyi, the Austrian Ambassador, Prince
Bismarck assented to common action
against the ukase. Count Szechenyi went
next day to Vienna, supposing the affair to
have been arranged. Prince Bismarck's
change of front was communicated to the
Austrian Government on Wednesday, and
to-day Count Szechenyi's recall from Ber-
lin is announced. The "Fremendenblatt'
says he resigns for private reasons, but
the fact is that the Vienna Foreign Office
resents the sudden alteration in Germany's
policy, the first effect of which is that Aus
tria abandons her efforts to interfere with
the ukaSe, because she cannot effectually
protest alone against the measure with
out equally affecting German and Aus
Crian subjects.
The Times" commenting on Lord
Randolph Churchill's speech at Washing
ton June 4th, says: Let Lord Randolph
convert his Indignation into a steady
fire of resolute purpose, and mature his
plan with patient and sober industry.
Then he may become a terror to evil-doers,
and some day an opportunity may come
for putting his ripened purposes into exc
cution.
Russia has forbidden that the Chinese
shall acquire lands in towns on the Pacific
Coast. They will only be allowed to lease

The Thistle had her topmast carried
away in the Thames Yacht Club race June
Trek. The course was from More to

finishing line, the Irex second and the
Thistle third-half mile behind.
The Hessian Government follows the
Prussian Government in abandoning the
conflict with the Vatican.
Another operation will be made upon the
Crown Princes throat Wednesday. DIR.
Mackenzie will arrive here from London on
Tuesday. He intends to again use forceps
to reduce the growth on the Princes
larynx. In the meantime the Prince has
submitted to treatment of choral of potas-
SUM gargles and in exterior application of
an ointment of iodide of potassium. He is
still caused great pain in swallowing The
doctors are confident that at the next oper-
alton they will succeed in effecting the en-
tire removal of the growth, which is now
the size OF pea. The Empress is greatly
enfeebled. She does not venture to walk
in the grounds of the palace any more, her
daily exercise being limited to that de-
rived from being wheeled about in a
chair.
A Berlin corporation has entered into
contract to light with electricity the whole
of the street Under Den Linden for five
years, at 100000 marks yearly.
A sufficient fund for the erection of the
Mendelsohn monument at Dessaur has
been secured.
The results of O'Brien's visit to Montreal
are showing themselves more plainly every
day in the bitter feeling that has been
stirred up between the different sections of
the population. The propriety of the agi-
tation is being discussed more acrimoni-
ously than ever. French Canadians don't
take much interest in the matter beyond
the religious bigotry that
caused the attacks on O'Brien, but the
Protestants and Irish Catholics who have
been drawn toward each other in self-dc-
fence during the Riel agitation are now
separated more widely than ever. But
the most serious part of the trouble is to
come. The Governor-General is to be in
vited to attend a military review in Mont
cal in honor of the Queens Jubilee, and
should he come there can be little doubt
hat hostile demonstrations of some kind |
will be made. There is some talk among
